Most people have no idea what they’re capable of. No real sense of their talents or their abilities. And very many people therefor conclude that they don’t have any, there’s nothing special about them

Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one that rises against them and strikes back

Most people in prison are men. Most people who are on the street are men. Most victims of violent crimes are men. Most people who commit suicide are men. Most people who die in wars are men. People who do worse in school are men. Where’s the dominance here precisely?

I think that generally people have things that are more within their personal purview that are more difficult to deal with and that they’re avoiding. And that generally the way they avoid them is by adopting pseudo-moralistic stances on large scale social issues so that they look good to their friends and their neighbours

However close we may be to someone because they’ve been nice to us, it is nothing next to the closeness we’ll achieve if we allow them to show us, without shaming or humiliating, what really isn’t quite so nice about them

When this cycle of expression-and-gratification is reduced to a few hundred characters followed by a dozen or so \'likes\', it becomes a parody of the creative process, and impedes any real engagement in that process

Everybody acts out a myth, but very few people know what their myth is. And you should know what your myth is because it might be a tragedy and maybe you don’t want it to be

I actually resent the fact that I’m going to get judged someday. Like if that’s true. That somebody is going to judge me. It doesn’t even make any sense. Dude, you made me. This is your fuckup. Let’s not try to turn this around on me
